Borden In 1953, Atlantic tropical storms have been named from lists originally
drawn up by the National Hurricane Center and now maintained by an international
committee of the World Meteorological Organization. The list featured only women's
names until 1979, when the international committee established a policy
of rotating six lists of names, alternating both men and women's names-of English,
Spanish, and French origin. Thus, the 2001 list will be reused in 2007. However, if
any individual storm has caused major damage or loss of life, that storm name
may be "retired," and replaced by a like name on the list.

* " Carol " was used again to denote a hurricane in the mid-Atlantic Ocean in 1965.
However, because the name does not appear after that time, it is assumed that the
name was retired retrospectively for the damages caused by the 1954 storm of the same name.
